SIDE LETTER OF AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
AND
THE ROHNERT PARK PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
May 10, 2018
WHEREAS, the City of Rohnert Park ("City") and Rohnert Park Public Safety
Officers Association ("RPPSOA") are parties to a Memorandum of Agreement effective
April 2, 2017 through June 30, 2021 ("MOA");
WHEREAS, MOA Section 7.23(b) (iv) -(vi) establishes "cost sharing" provisions
requiring miscellaneous employees in the bargaining unit to pay a portion of the City's
required contributions to CalPERS beginning July 1, 2018;
WHEREAS, no other miscellaneous employees in the City are required to pay a
portion of the City's required CalPERS contributions, and the City and RPPSOA are
concerned that the cost sharing requirement will hamper the City's ability to attract and
retain dispatchers and other miscellaneous employees in the bargaining unit; and
WHEREAS, the City and RPPSOA desire to enter into this Side Letter of
Agreement revising Section 7.23(b) of the MOA to eliminate the required cost sharing for
miscellaneous employees in the bargaining unit.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree to amend Section 7.23(b) of the
MOA to delete in their entirety subsections (iv), (v), and (vi) regarding required
miscellaneous employee cost sharing of employer costs. These cost sharing requirements
for miscellaneous employees will not be implemented. The parties acknowledge that by a
separate side letter dated April 30, 2018, the parties have added new subsections (iv) and
(v) to MOA Section 7.23 (b) related to the cost sharing provisions applicable to safety
employees, and those new subsections remain unchanged by this side letter agreement.
This Agreement is contingent upon approval by the City Council.
